36 - The eCopy Connector for Microsoft Exchange
The eCopy connector for Microsoft Exchange enables a user to send scanned documents from an eCopy-
enabled device as email attachments from a generic Microsoft Exchange account or from the user's personal
Microsoft Exchange account. eCopy recommends that you create a generic Microsoft Exchange account for
use by ShareScan.
While ShareScan always uses the ShareScan user account information to log on to the Exchange server and
retrieve the Global Address List, it sends scanned documents from this account only if the Login As
authentication option is selected.
36.1- About Exchange Environment connection protocols
The connector supports six combinations of connection protocols that can be used to connect to your
Exchange server, depending on your environment. The Wizard automatically selects the protocol based on
the Exchange environment information that you supply.

required?
Description Suggested use
MAPI/MAPI
Yes Requires Exchange 5.5
server or later.
Use it to access old Exchange versions
(Exchange 2003 or even older). MAPI
requires a Microsoft mail client on the
machine running the ShareScan Manager.
MAPI protocol does not support saving
new contacts to the users' Personal
Contact list; queries against Personal
Contacts can be executed.
LDAP/MAPI
Yes Requires that the specified
Service Account has access
to a Global catalog server in
the forest where the
ShareScan Manager is
running.
Requires Exchange Server
2003 or later.
MAPI along with LDAP is recommended
when your organizational unit uses old
Exchange versions, but Global Catalog
servers are available for GAL queries. You
can restrict LDAP queries with profile
settings for the organizational unit which
uses a particular scanning device; queries
are executed faster, and the result lists are
considerably shorter.
